Scribbles and Baby Quilt Done

I finished the Pooh Baby Quilt. I'll give it to her sometime in the next couple weeks. The baby isn't due until the middle of September. I put leaves around the edge because, well, it's Pooh. What do you think? It measures 43" by 48".

I've also been hired to make a custom bag for my Aunt's Sister-in-law. I'm not sure of the official title of that relationship to me.

I've been learning to doodle possible wholecloth designs. Don't mind the straight lines. Those are the cuts where I had to piece them together. Sharon Schamber teaches this method. See, the whole trick is to take a triangle and draw your design in there. Then, like a paper snowflake, use a program (I used Word, but some use Paint or Adobe, or you can go use a copy machine) to flip and twist 7 copies of that triangle until you get a square. Then you print it, clean it up and enlarge or reduce it to transfer to your wholecloth. Go to Sharon's site. She's got the whole process in a free video there. This is actually the very first one I designed. I made 8 more. I have to get those loaded onto my computer so you can see them. I still need something more simple for a 6 inch square.

Thanks for Visiting! Come Back Soon!

Welcome!

I'm a writer, quilter, photographer. Pretty much in that order, too. I also like to fool around in the kitchen. I'm Mommy to two adorable kitties and wife to one hell of a great guy.
